Redshift Trading Results
We’ve got a EUR/USD backtest on the M15 time frame. The seventeen-year tick data was used for this. The modeling quality was 99.90% with variable spreads. An initial deposit was $100. The total net profit has become $40,949K. The maximum drawdown was 876k (9.65%). Redshift closed 3995 trades with a win-rate from 93% to 94%. The win-streak was 17 deals.
The main page of the developer’s profile on myfxbook welcomes us with the accounts that are going down.
We have a real account with 5% of the risk on FX Choice. The robot works on MT4 automatically with 1:200 leverage. The account has a verified track record. It was found on January 18, 2021, and funded at $105.44. It’s a little deposit to be afraid of losing it. Since then, the absolute gain amounted to +10.2% after several trades were lost. An average monthly gain is +9.62%. The maximum drawdown is – 30.11%. The account is tracked by 12 traders.
The robot has traded 52 deals with 178.2 pips. An average win in pips is 13.38. An average loss in pips is -29.73. The win-rate is between 75% and 78%. An average trade length is two days. The Profit Factor is 1.30.
The most frequently traded symbol is USD/JPY (13 deals). The most profitable currency pairs are EUR/USD with $9.60 and USD/CAD with $9.38.
The expert advisor trades during all trading sessions.
The most-traded days are Monday (11), Tuesday (12), and Wednesday (13 deals).
The account is run with insanely high risks to the account balance.
As we can see, there were three huge losses in a row. SL levels are unhealthy compared to the TP ones.
The developer opened a Martingale x10 times deal to recover.
Now, the robot is a scary expert advisor.
